Remodel Floor Plans
How to design a floor plan for your house? You have to start with detailed blue prints of your house. We specialize in creating both the as-built and concept plan to aid in getting accurate quotes from contractors. When remodeling or creating a new layout, you have to start with a detailed dimensioned drawing of your existing space.
We use remodeling software to digitize a scan of the home, which gives us the CAD files needed to create the existing floor plan and concept new floor plan ideas.
Remodeling floor plans involve the reconfiguration and redesign of interior spaces to improve functionality, aesthetics, and overall living experience. When designing a floor plan, careful consideration must be given to the desired layout, flow, and utilization of space. It’s essential to identify the specific needs and preferences of the occupants while adhering to building codes and structural limitations.
An intelligently designed floor plan can optimize the use of available space, enhance natural light, and create functional flow. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in remodeling as it serves as a blueprint for the entire renovation project, guiding contractors and ensuring a successful transformation that aligns with the homeowners’ vision and lifestyle.

As-Builts
What is an As-Built?
An as-built is the footprint of an existing space “as it was built”, or in some cases “as it exists.” This is critical in creating remodel floor plans.
Why is it needed?
It gives us the detailed dimensions needed for remodel planning, from electrical to window and door sizes, ceiling heights and thicknesses of walls. Read more here on How to Design a Kitchen and Bath.
What is the process?
Utilizing the latest technology of Canvas remodel software and your iPhone with LiDAR camera, you create a scan of the remodel area and order a Chief Architect plan set from the Canvas app. Once the files are delivered back to you, you will forward to us via email and purchase one of the packages below.
Please include the property address in the subject line. Turn-around times vary.

Concept Plans
What is a concept Plan?
Starting with the as-built package you can add on a concept design. Using our expertise, current design trends and work flow patterns we will recommend the best design for the space. We use average size cabinets, appliances and fixtures (sourcing not included). For help in managing your project and sourcing, check out our Remodel Design Planner. You provide a couple of inspiration photos for the concept look. We create elevations appropriate for cabinet, counter and contractor quotes. No custom requests included in this package, you finalize all the details after you have selected materials. Minor wall movement only, no big structural or architectural changes included. This is perfect to help determine a remodel budget. If you purchase the concept plans, please email us with the as-built property address and your ideas for the space. We will evaluate and send a questionnaire to clarify any questions. Concept plans are only available as an add-on to the as-built package.
